I do care for third party on Nintendo systems, but only if they're exclusive like No More Heroes or Zack and Wiki. I don't really care for multiplatforms because I can play them on PC (with superior graphics). One part of me does care but only for other people wanting third party. I want Nintendo platforms to be successful and third party to sell well.

I care if they're good. I get them on a Nintendo console if they're good. Sadly, Pezus is correct, Nintendo fans that care know that only a Nintendo console is not enough.

The Wii was the worst in that regard though, I got two (2!) third party games; GoldenEye and Resident Evil 4. Oh no, three, I got Red Steel 2 too because of the included Wii Remote Plus (and the bundle was only €15, which is cheaper than a stand-alone Plus). On GameCube I got quite a bunch, but still the minority. On N64 just over half of my games are third party, while on SNES and NES the clear majority is third party.

So, I care, and I get them if they're good. Good ones however, have been declining over the generations. On WiiU it looks to be better than on Wii, but as of now I only got one third party game of the three WiiU games I got.

I have more 3rd party games for my wii than 1st party games. I'll buy games regardless of the developer as long as the game is good

Yes? A good RE (REmake, 4,) and a good Assassins Creed (2)?
Maybe some others like Shattered Memories or the Okami Wii Version? Or do you mean for Wii U? Like ME3 or REvelations?

If they are quality, then yes, I do.

On Wii I bought: Monster Hunter Tri,  Goldeneye 007, Rayman Origins, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, No More Heroes 1 & 2, Disney Epic Mickey, Resident Evil 4, Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Little King's Story, Call of Duty World at War, Okami, Muramasa, Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip, Dead Space Extraction, Sonic Colours, Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, Lostwinds 1  & 2, Jett Rocket, and FAST Racing League.

I don't care about third party games. I don't care about first party games.

I care about good games. /shrug

Only Final Fantasy.

I think its clear that most "Nintendo Gamers" care about having 3rd party games on their Nintendo system. The people that don't are those that have a Nintendo system but also have another system which they use for 3rd party products. I think it's a myth that Nintendo gamers don't want 3rd party products. If they are actually offered, they will buy them.

I think think that there's a lot of third party content I care about getting on Wiiu. But I don't care about Wiiu getting inferior versions of Durango and PS4 games.  I want to see the best of last gen coming over to wiiu like Dues Ex and ended up with the best version of the game on Wiiu. I care about exclusives like Sonic Lost World, Bayonetta 2 ect ect.  Basically any time the release on wiiu is the best version of the game i care but i don't care about next gen multiplats that skip the wiiu. That's not my vision for the console.  I will play those games on Durango.

Without 3rd parties, it'll take Nintendo a long time (2-3 years) to get enough worthwhile games out to make the system desirable.
